About Me

CURRENT MISSION

- to live my life happily with adventure and lots of laughter; develop my strengths/ passions

ABOUT ME

- playful and interesting and loves laughing a lot
- sociable but can be introvert at times; i am a mix of both
- calm and tidy; i love to clean (sorry seriously..but can be flexible depending on situations)
- love wood-working; inspired by great danish furniture designers

I have been in denmark for three years now as an architecture master student. I am now done and planning to go back home for good. Before that, I would love to do a bit of travelling here and there. I have always loved traveling, either with friends or alone. I guess it's something different when traveling alone when you get time for yourself to think and to understand yourself more. I had so many amazing/ exciting/ unexpected/ memorable trip around in the past three years, and I would love to share with you too!

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would love to explore and learn from different cultures. When I am privileged to study abroad for some time, I will definitely make good use of this chance to see, to learn and to experience places and to be inspired by people. And in return, I hope you will also learn a bit from my own Hong Kong culture too.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movie is not so much of my stuff. Not a frequent theatre-goer, though I enjoy spending time in a movie with friends :) But if I have to recommend a movie, I would say Inception. Dont ask me about the science, time/ space theories.... I just enjoy the intensity and music in it.

Books! I love reading books! I remember reading the Da Vinci Code under a desk during an English lesson and was caught :( hahaa but I forgot the story already.

One of my teenage favourites is Darren Shan, a vampire thriller series. It is not scary at all. I was so intrigued by the story that I couldn't stop reading them while I was in school, so again I ended up reading under the desk during lessons :) (and wasn't caught once!)

Music? It depends on the melody. Nothing much specific.. maybe Coldplay, Linkinpark, Howie Day, Five for Fighting.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The first time I arrived in denmark i was totally amazed by the fact that the sky here is sooooooo big!! this is because in the place i am from, hong kong, we have skyscrapers all around, so you won't be able to see a large part of the sky! so.. it's totally amazzzing here =p and i love the colour of the sky here.

The coziness of drifting into sleep on an empty beach on a sunny day... wonderful! (and yea.. i love sleeping..)
